stewie911 Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 Looking to convert ghetto style(20" bmx). Why does everyone use presta valves?If my rim has a small dent, should it be straightened first?
Tumbleweed Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 is the dent in the rim wall? how bad is it? you may get away with it.
stewie911 Posted October 10, 2009 Author Posted October 10, 2009 Dent is at the top of rim wall. "Someone" used a 13mm spanner to remove tyre while he was in a hurry.Dent's not too bad. Will give it a shot then.
Tumbleweed Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 this "someone" a "friend"? hahahaha! good luck...off to ride...ciao...
JarradVZ Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 Ghetto is the way to go. Works like a charm. Can be a serious mission getting the tyre back onto the rim over the bmx tube, especially with UST tyres. Don't forget to be pretty generous with Stans and use some soapy water.
stewie911 Posted October 11, 2009 Author Posted October 11, 2009 Will do thanks.I'm just waiting to place a crc order for new tyres, as my rear tyre has a few cuts from rocks and stuff.
